The History of Spiritualism by Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1926, is a comprehensive and passionate exploration of the Spiritualist movement, which captivated many during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this two-volume work, Conan Doyle, better known for his Sherlock Holmes stories, delves deeply into the origins, development, and controversies surrounding Spiritualism, a movement centered on the belief in communication with the spirits of the dead through mediums. The book traces the movement’s beginnings in the 1840s, highlighting pivotal events like the Fox sisters’ spirit rappings, and profiles key figures such as Emanuel Swedenborg, Andrew Jackson Davis, and Daniel Dunglas Home. Conan Doyle also examines the involvement of prominent scientists and intellectuals, like Sir William Crookes and Alfred Russel Wallace, who investigated spiritual phenomena. Despite the widespread skepticism and accusations of fraud that plagued the movement, Conan Doyle defends Spiritualism with fervor, presenting what he believed to be compelling evidence of its legitimacy. His narrative not only documents the history but also argues for the serious consideration of Spiritualism as a legitimate field of inquiry, reflecting his personal conviction in the reality of spirit communication. As a result, The History of Spiritualism stands as both a historical document and a testament to Conan Doyle’s deep belief in the spiritual world, offering a thorough account of a movement that significantly influenced the cultural and religious landscape of its time.
